Getting CPU and Graphics Card

In order to automate part of technical support, I'd like to dynamically grab the user's CPU and graphics card information.

I tried looking through the reference on MSDN but I'm afraid I am still new to Win32 programming. I could probably get what I need through WMI (e.g. Win32_Processor & Win32_VideoController) if I knew how to access that through BlitzMax.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BlitzMax code which gets CPU info and O/S details too
(not sure if everything here is right though):

Thanks! I was originally looking at GetSystemInfo too, but I think some of the fields are mixed up in your code.

Here's my output for a P4, 2.4 GHz:
